Fishpond versus mangrove

FISHPOND VS MANGROVE. An idle fishpond in Barangay Babag, Lapu-Lapu City sits next to a new subdivision. To promote aquaculture, Presidential Decree 43 in 1972 encouraged the conversion of mangroves into fishponds. This was later prohibited by The Philippine Fisheries Code of 1998, which also ordered the reversion of abandoned, undeveloped and underutilized fishponds covered by Fishpond Lease Agreements to their original mangrove state. But this has not happened because having a law is one thing, but implementing it is another. (Sun.Star Cebu photo/Amper Campaña)
